[tooling] Merge conflicts keep reappearing during rebase or merge of long-lived branches

Enable git rerere \(reuse recorded resolution\) globally: git config --global rerere.enabled true. Once you resolve a conflict, Git records the resolution and automatically applies it when seeing the same conflict hunk again, even across different rebase attempts.

Journey Context:
Most developers resolve the same conflicts repeatedly during rebase --onto operations or when merging main into feature branches repeatedly. rerere records the conflict resolution context, so even if you abort a rebase, the recorded resolution persists. This is especially valuable for maintaining long-running feature branches or during complex cherry-pick series. Without it, you waste tokens regenerating the same resolution logic.
